I do it all year round... BUT it is a lot more dangerous and perfects your moves so you can do it easily in the warm

Can I just say practicing in the frost and wet is not a good move, I know from experience when I twisted my right ankle both ways and tore all the muscles in my foot(physio and crutches for 6 weeks). So best thing to do is condition in the winter, so in spring you can practice outdoors. Or train indoors.

When I've gone out the weather's been good for me so far, but I know exactly how you feel, it's difficult to get started when it's cold and wet, I wish I'd gotten interested earlier! maybe like a year or two would've been helpful

aighttt i think i've gotta be the "parkour knowledge man" yeah well parkour is the art of movement and you can never predict when you'll need it for a chase etc and it could be cold and frosty or whatever
but i also know that parkour is about keeping safe so i'd say train very little things stuff that shouldn't be too slippery

did i imply that you knew everything? because thats not what it meant to come out as, haha.
i was just trying to give you an experienced view because yeah, its very dangerous but well, if you're going to adapt like you train for, then you will need to but yeah, do only small stuff or if you can find a spot undercover somewhere

Wet weather / ice / snow / night training can be great fun...
...IF you know how to train safely.
If you can stick to a wet rail or a slippery wall in the rain, it becomes an awful lot easier. If you can judge a distance before you jump in the twighlight, you'll understand it better in the day.
However, I don't want to see anybody hurt. You should only attempt manouvres that you will be safe in. As you get more experienced, and more aware of how to use your body, you will be better at avoiding injury. Partly because you will be physically tougher, partly because you will be able to adapt without thinking if something does go wrong, but mostly because your techniques should be more effective and thus safer.
Don't stop training altogether because conditions aren't ideal. Do your best to stay safe, though. Use your common sense.
